Sorry for the Delay...Thanksgiving & More!

I am normally a much better blogger than what I have been the last 6 weeks. Suffice it to say my excuses are lame....
Right after Thanksgiving work got really crazy (50+ hr. weeks), I got really sick and my camera broke. Except for the Christmas decor pictures at the end all of these pictures were from Darryl and Cody's phones.

Yesterday we went to the Temple. It was a beautiful day so I took a picture of Darryl and Cody. Darryl and I have been called as Temple Workers in the Baton Rouge Temple. We are very excited to say the least.

Now to play Catch-up since November....
We left at 3:30 Wednesday morning the 23rd to Drive to North Carolina for Thanksgiving. We stopped in Augusta, GA at the Lowry's on the way so Darryl and Cody could meet Reagan Elisabeth and visit with Skye and Ryan and the Lowry Clan.

We spent the night with Shiloh and Jason and Columbia, SC and on Thanksgiving morning drove to Huntersville, NC to run in the Guffey Gobble Hobble Wobble 5k. It was a lot of fun and the medals were delicious!

That afternoon we went to Grandma Peggy's for Thanksgiving dinner with lots of Family. Shiloh and Jason's Clan, Cami and Jacob's family, Bill & Linda, Dave and Alayna, Cindy, Matt & Will and the 3 of us. It was so wonderful to be with family and loved ones!

Oops, this one is out of order. It was taken in Augusta on Sunday the 27th. We were celebrating Shiloh and Jason's 13th Anniversary, Jacob's 34th Birthday and Adam's 4th Birthday.

Back to Thanksgiving... That evening we loaded up Shiloh's 'tank' and Cami and Jacob's SUV and went to see the lights at Tanglewood.

These are for Cali, Hillary and Jesse. We sure missed having you with us.

Saturday morning, Nov. 26th. Jamie Lowry married her best friend, Matt Stokes in the Columbia, South Carolina Temple.

What in the world could that be?

Ryan, Skye and Baby Reagan pose for a family portrait.

The Cunningham contingent at the Wedding. (Well, technically it's the Cunningham, Guffey, Lowry contingent)

The reception was FABULOUS!!!! Donna and Doug can put on an amazing party!!

And the hall was decorated beautifully!

Well, this is this afternoon. I was busy making Christmas Goodies. I am finally healthy enough I don't think I am a health hazard anymore.

And now to our Cajun Christmas decorations. At a Garage Sale in September Darryl bought a 50lb. bag of Mardi Gras Beads. They now adorn most everything in the house as part of the Christmas decor.

Notice how they not only decorate the tree but hang from the balcony and even the dining room chairs.

We have not put any on the inside Christmas tree...

They give such a festive air to the ficus tree on the balcony..

That's it for now. I found Darryl's old camera and will use it for a while until I can buy the new Camera. I have a special one in mind and will save my money for it.

Y'all have a good week and a very Merry Christmas. I promise it won't take me so long to post the next time.
